DC Collectibles Harley Quinn Red, White & Black by Philip Tan Statue Review

Street Date: 2018-10-03

MSRP: $80

Price I Paid: $75

Statue Scale: 1/10

Designed by Philip Tan

Sculpted by Alejandro Pereira

The Harley Quinn RWB line has featured some rather beautiful designs, but it also includes at least three downsized versions of other statues and a re-paint of a statue from the Batman B&W line.  Furthermore, overall QC has left much to be desired.  The Jim Lee Hush design was seriously undersized, many statues were poorly molded, and paint apps can be sloppy.

The Undersized Jim Lee Hush Statue

I really wanted the Philip Tan statue, but the ones released right before it almost completely scared me from the line.  Four years later, I was able to get it from a local seller.  The statue is based on Tan's variant cover for DC Rebirth Harley Quinn Issue 1.  I really like how the face is a nice round shape rather than the ovoid of so many of these RWB statues.

Based on eBay listings, this one has doubled in value since 2018.  If you're in the market for one, be very careful when removing it from the box because either the right arm or the mallet handle can break easily.  The statue has one metal peg in the right foot that fits into the base.

In general, mine looks okay, though the choker necklace should've been painted better (the white area is supposed to be a heart and not just a random shape).  Also, there's a spot on the right side of the jacket that has excess red paint.

Here's the Philip Tan statue paired with the Injustice 2 and Amanda Conner New 52 statues.  I thought that the Injustice 2 statue was lanky, and yet the Philip Tan is probably taller!
